SEATTLE - Kekuta Manneh took advantage of his own injury to score the only goal the Vancouver Whitecaps needed on Friday. http://www.soccerpro.us.com/France/ .After a collision near the end of the first half, Manneh left the field to receive treatment on a bruised quad, but promptly returned, slipping a close-range shot under Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei en route to a 1-0 Whitecaps win over the Sounders.I felt like I had a chance to go to score a goal, Manneh said. I was still in pain, but I had to go take the chance.Vancouver (11-8-13) won its third straight game and jumped a point ahead of Portland for the fifth and final Western Conference berth. Both teams have two games remaining.The Sounders (19-10-3) remained tied with Los Angeles atop the overall MLS standings. The Galaxy visit FC Dallas on Sunday, then will face Seattle in a home-and-home series.Mannehs goal, off a long pass from Pedro Morales, was the last action of the first half.After scoring, the Whitecaps striker abruptly pulled up, waving off his teammates attempts to celebrate with him, and limped away from the scene clutching his left hip.He sat out the rest of the game with a contusion in his quadriceps, exacerbated by a sudden sprint on the goal so soon after his initial injury. After the match Manneh said he felt that he would be able to play in the Whitecaps next game next week.The Sounders defenders said they were surprised referee Jair Marrufo allowed Manneh back onto the field in a counterattacking situation. They felt it gave Vancouver an unfair advantage, as Seattles Jalil Anibaba and Chad Marshall were left alone to defend.We were all under the impression that Manneh was still off the field, Anibaba said. The next thing we knew, he has the ball and hes running in on goal.Evans, who strayed from his usual position because he thought his direct opponent was off the field, said Marrufo should have waited until the play finished to allow Manneh back on.When were pushing forward, theres always the risk of a counterattack, Evans said. The referee has to wait until the play is done.One year and one day before this match, Manneh scored a hat trick as Vancouver shocked Seattle, 4-1. At the time, Manneh was a relatively unknown 18-year-old who turned in a breakout performance in one of the most hostile away environments in the league.Manneh said he remembered that night as he stepped onto the pitch at CenturyLink Field again 366 days later.I had a good feeling. It definitely gave me a lot of confidence coming into this game, Manneh said. Everybody was like, You did it last year. Why not again this year? Everybody believed in me in the locker-room, and I can see the support from the coaching staff and the senior players.Vancouver travels to San Jose Oct. 18 before finishing the regular season at home Oct. 25 against the Colorado Rapids.Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson said that if his team wins its own matches, it shouldnt matter what the schedules are or what Portland does.(The win) puts us in a decent position, he said. If we take care of our business, then well get to where we (want to) go. If we dont, we dont deserve to be there. Its irrelevant about what Portland do; weve got to take care of our business.The win was Vancouvers first on the road in 10 attempts, since a 4-3 victory against the chasing Timbers on June 1. The Whitecaps also locked up the Cascadia Cup competition held annually among Seattle, Vancouver and Portland.Vancouver punctuated the win with a series of clearances under pressure as the clock wound down, including a ball headed off the goal-line by Kendall Watson in stoppage time.As the final whistle blew, Vancouvers players jumped off the bench and punched the air jubilantly, rushing onto the field to hug their teammates. Boos rained down from the stands, except from a small patch of Vancouver supporters in the upper deck who made the three-hour drive south.Not many people gave us the opportunity and believed that we could win, but I did, 1,250 (travelling) fans did and the group did, which was the most important thing, Robinson said. Its all down to the players today, and I give them all the credit. Jerome Boateng Jersey .200. His solution to his hitting woes was business in the front and a party in the back."That would be a mullet," Norris says. http://www.soccerpro.us.com/Portugal/ .Y. -- As if the worst start in franchise history isnt bad enough, Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black braced his teams win-starved fans for potentially more tough times.Canada: 4 W - 1 T - 2 L, Silver Medal Winnipeg played host to the 1999 tournament and set an attendance record with over 170,000 people taking in the event. The Canadian team did not disappoint, earning a silver medal with a spirited effort. Early on, it did not look good for Canada. A frustrating 0-0 draw with Slovakia and a loss to the United States left the home side with a 2-1-1 record in the round robin portion of the tournament. In the quarterfinals, Canada faced Kazakhstan, the team that handed them a shocking defeat one year earlier. This time, a hero emerged for Canada as Simon Gagne tied a national team record with four goals, leading a 12-2 romp. Next came the undefeated Swedes and the Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik. It turned out to be no contest as Canada rolled to a 6-1 win and set up a gold medal match with Russia. The final game turned into the Roberto Luongo show. Canada was outshot 40-18, but Luongos heroics forced overtime. Artem Chubarov finally put the winner past Luongo to give Russia a 3-2 win and the gold medal. It was the first title for Russia since competing as the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1992. They earned full marks for the win. The Russian team was deep and well-balanced. Vitaly Vishnevsky was named the top defenceman while Maxim Afinogenov was selected as the tournaments top forward. Maxim Balmochnykh joined Vishnevsky on the all-star team. Canada was also well represented on the all-star squad, with Brian Campbell, Daniel Tkaczuk and Luongo making the grade. Meanwhile, unheralded Slovakia got three goals from Ladislav Nagy and surprised Sweden 5-4 in the bronze medal game. It was Slovakias first medal at the event and marked yet another disappointment for the Swedes, who had been the consensus pre-tournament favourites.
